Yonkers Raceway Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $31,944

IN EXCESS N (2) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just 1.5 metres from the winner. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Primary contender based on that recent effort. EVILEYE FLEEGLE (4) finished fourth last start over 1609m at this track but gave a good account, beaten only 2.25 metres. Primary contender if things go his way. SMOOTH DREAM (5) is usually thereabouts and looks a strong winning hope this time following a last-start third at this track. Rarely lets backers down. BONDI LOCKDOWN A (1) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at this track over 1609m.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.25 m fourth behind Lyons Franky J at this track over 1609m NW15000L5 last start. Before that was beaten 0.6 metres second again at this track in NW21501L5 on August 31. Rates highly so expect a bold run.

Fair performance when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Ima Perfect Choice at this track over 1609m in a NW16631L5 on September 1 at $4.07. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Lyons Franky J at this track over 1609m in a NW15000L5 on September 8 at $2.94. Capable of a strong showing.

Nine-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 6 m by Southwind Celsius (1:52.00) in NW10000L5 on September 8 at $6.27. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into fifth behind Capt Karma at this track over 1609m in a NW10151L5 on August 31 at $79.41. Form reads okay, but out of his depth.
